Enzymedica Digest Spectrum Digestive Enzymes | Breaks Down Gluten, Lactose, Casein & Phenols & Reduces Occasional Gas & Bloating | 120 Capsules

I am a Holistic Nutrition professional and this has been my best find for enzymes for food sensitivities! I recommend to my clients and family and use myself. It does help with gas and bloating and other food sensitivity symptoms. I notice when I don’t take it during a meal so I always have some in my purse.

With these supplements, I can eat cross-contaminated foods without any sickness now. I am severely intolerant to wheat, eggs, and dairy. Digest Spectrum has made my life simpler, because if I’m put in a situation where I don’t have many options but really need food, these help prevent me from getting nearly as sick as I normally would. This also means I can finally stop bringing an arsenal of emergency snacks with me everywhere. I take one to two with a meal if I didn’t prepare it and can’t be sure about cross-contamination. If I know for a fact that a meal contains one of my intolerances and I have no other options available, I take three or four and my stomach pain later isn’t nearly as severe. Be wary of purchasing from Amazon. My last bottle from NetRush, who is a primary distributor, looked suspicious compared to the bottles I’d purchased before. There was no expiration date or lot number on the label like there usually is, and certain parts of the label were pixilated. I purchased a bottle directly from Enzymedica to compare it to, and also contacted Enzymedica about the discrepancies between the two bottles. They said to not use any bottles that do not come with a lot number and expiration date printed on the side of the label near the list of supplement facts. I will include photos to help anyone else who is unsure whether or not they received a legitimate bottle.

These are standard '00' capsule size so they work well for me. Many times I will use only 2 for my less problematic allergens, such as dairy, and they seem to still do the job. For my gluten sensitivity- I find I definitely need the full dose. This is the only brand I use for the full digestive enzymes. The capsules are clear and completely sheer so you can clearly see the powder contents of each capsule. I think for the discomfort this saves me from, it's a definite great value for the money. To clarify, I have not been dx'd as having Celiac Disease, so I don't know if this is sufficient for a true Celiac patient. I do know my son's girlfriend has a VERY severe case of Celiacs Disease and being unwilling to give up gluten altogether she does at least acknowledge if she uses these it definitely decreases the extreme amount of pain she typically endures when she consumes gluten products.

I have had good experiences with this product. It has been very beneficial when eating out. This product gives me confidence that it is safe to eat out. Along with advising the waitress/waiter that I have allergies in an attempt to minimize cross contamination. I do have a Medical Doctor’s note that state I am gluten allergic and lactose intolerant.

I'm glad I started taking this, because my doctor told me to stop eating dairy and gluten, so this helps me with digestion. FYI, once you turn 40, you should ask your doctor if you need enzymes.
